 Alert | ..a big cell has just developed over at Florence and is headed directly due east of us. If it continues and doesn't fizzle out it should hit us in 1-2 hrs possibly. We're seeing large wind gusts right now, a huge downdraft has just hit us. It just hit Casa Grande a bit ago. I love the monsoons!
Stay tuned folks!

Alert | | I think that might be a really good idea. Roads are bad enough on a good day.....will be hell during a dust storm!!!!! | |
